Le Début

Because nobody gets to see this sweet pea enough 🥰

🎂 This is 33! 🥳 I made TWO layer cakes: deli

🎂 This is 33! 🥳 I made TWO layer cakes: delicious lemon raspberry from @theviewfromgreatisland as well as a Christmas cake I’m testing for work (no pics for the public yet!) 🙊, and cookies & cream macarons because I just love baking 🤷🏼‍♀️. I spent last night in the kitchen, aka my happy place, frosting both cakes and watching The Holiday, and it was SO MUCH FUN! 🎉 Today I’m feeling so incredibly grateful for all the good things in my life and looking forward to what the coming year brings 💜 Thanks to my husband, my family, friends, coworkers, previous coworkers (got my broken tooth fixed today thus the numb mouth smile pic 😂, and they sang happy birthday to me 😭🦷, plus a boat came through the channel while I got my tooth fixed!), and people I don’t even know who made this day so special! And also Harry Potter for making me happy, and @fitnessblender for keeping me fit with my baking job 😆

Oatmeal Cream Pies are officially live on @handlet

Oatmeal Cream Pies are officially live on @handletheheat! 😍 You don’t want to miss out, these are the “adult” version of the thin and squishy cookies we enjoyed as kids. These cookies are decadent. So thick and chewy with a perfect hint of spice from the cinnamon and full of flavor from the creamiest, smoothest buttercream. I can’t wait for you to enjoy these 😋

🍂 Happy first day of fall, and Happy Hobbit Day

🍂 Happy first day of fall, and Happy Hobbit Day 🧙🏼‍♂️🧝🏻‍♂️🐉! Tim and I are celebrating with tacos…and starting a LOTR/Hobbit marathon while enjoying these macs 😉

The 🍁 autumn hobbit door macs are filled with flavors that I think hobbits would love: apple pie, peaches, and pistachio pudding 😍 The “One Ring To Rule Them All” is filled with peanut butter and espresso buttercream because, let’s be real, there’s no way I was going to make them taste like fish, which is Gollum’s fave, but he would totally be addicted to coffee instead nowadays, right? 😆🤷🏼‍♀️ And the ever watching EYE is filled with blood orange and cranberry 🩸 Has anyone seen the extended versions? We’re watching them for the first time, and they’re amazing!!

Just a side note, I first watched LOTR 20 years ago with my oldest brother, when it first came out on VHS 👴 We had Cheddar Jack Cheez-It’s then, and I have them every time I rewatch now ❤️
